Job Description

Senior Application Developer: iOS / Android

Since the earliest cave paintings, stories have been told visually. With the advent of tablets, there's an opportunity to bring visual storytelling to a new level and evolve a new grammar for words and pictures. Madefire is building the tools to allow artists and writers to tell their stories in ways never seen before. We're at the start of our journey, but we already have a potent set of ingredients. Our founding team is a mix of art, design and technology. We're funded by True Ventures, the inspired team behind behind Wordpress, and we're thrilled to be launching with a completely new storyworld from Dave Gibbons, co-creator of Watchmen, the best selling graphic novel of all time.

Madefire is based in Berkeley, and we're looking for the best technical talent to work along side the founders and some of the world's best creators to make this the next chapter for storytelling.

We are looking for an iOS developer to build one of the versions of the Madefire reader app. As iOS developers are in short supply, we are quite open to great U/I developers who are excited to become experts in iOS, and to push iOS as far as it can go in service of the most engaging content.

For this position, we need U/I developers who have application expertise, as opposed to web U/I developers; Flash, Flex, Silverlight, or any desktop application development framework.

Here are the technical characteristics of the person we're looking for:
